Nope. As stated above, you cannot spot reduce. Trust me. My thighs are going to be the last thing to go, it's just where I hold on to weight with a death grip and I accept this. Just keep at your deficit.

Ditto. That was not a comfortable workout.

Yup. I think I found some at target or in the PINK section of VS. They're usually on some kind of 5 for $25 deal at either store.

Yeah, my brother is addicted to meth. Between food and actual drugs, I can tell you pretty plainly which is worse, and which is a real addiction. I feel like this thread was created in the hopes of some form of coddling.

I suppose in a squinting in one eye kind of way, haha.

Seasoned and perfectly crisp salmon skin is one of my favorite things to eat. It's been a while though, since I'm down to my last 5lbs, I'm trying to avoid blowing so many calories on a joy so brief, haha.

Oh, they also think I work out like a maniac. Hahahahahahaha

My coworkers think I don't enjoy sweet treats or anything with fat. If they knew that 40% of my macros is dedicated to fat...

Claustrophobia, heights.

I wouldn't call them "abs". They're like...the ghost of abs that might be hiding underneath, or something. I've still got a long way to go.

I hate remarks like those. Yesterday I got a "you're going to disappear!" and I nearly responded with "I wish you would!"

There'd be on epic garlic shortage if there was any validity to that claim.

I have one, I definitely need more.

this plus a little spinach

I'm going as Rogue from the X-Men.

I feel like that app would give me anxiety attacks.

I'm so glad I'm holed up in my own office away from the rest of my coworkers.

You will eventually adjust. After about a month or two, I started learning what foods keep me feeling fuller for longer, and I started to recognize when I was bored vs when I was truly hungry. Just be patient. Right now is a good time to pick up a (simple) hobby that will keep your mind and hands occupied.

There's one of these every day, isn't there?

It's also done in a bourbon sour.

That would be a bourbon sour, one of my favorite drinks.

Damnit I came to post this.

A serving is however much I feel like eating at the moment, with consideration to how many calories I'm looking to consume.

High five for rational problem-solving.

I could concede to a middle ground. Next time this kind of interaction takes place, OP could use that opportunity to ask, explicitly, if she'd like some help or suggestions. He'd then have his answer.

If she's not using some variation of "can you help me with ______" then yes, you are wrong.

Okay, but did she ask for your help in making her feel less tired? I understand your concern, but unsolicited advice or 'help' is very rarely welcomed when not explicitly asked for.

Important question: did she ask you for help?

It is 100% the amount you eat.
